[p]Greetings Lords of Rigel! Release 1.12 is the September update and includes the culmination of performance optimizations and refactoring of the diplomacy AI and the addition of a requested quality of life improvement of adding treaty, relationship, and personality information to the audience screen.[/p][p][/p][p]Image 1. Audience menu quality of life improvements[/p][p][/p][p]We appreciate the feedback from players this month as some of the optimizations had unintended impacts on diplomacy data in older save files which have been resolved. A goal has been to keep compatibility with Lord of Rigel post-early access save files but sometimes data changes can have unintended outcomes. We appreciate your patience with the hotixes. Overall, these changes should help increase performance for some systems.[/p][p][/p][p]Image 2. Beware the warp kraken eating diplomatic messages[/p][p][/p][p]What's planned next? There's been some great quality of life suggestions on the forums and ideas for some alternative game modes. Some of these suggestions may make their way into future updates over the coming months along with some new technologies.[/p][p][/p][p]Feedback and any bug reports are welcome on the steam forums and in our discord:[/p][p]Join the Rhombus Studios Discord[/p]
